INTEODUCTICOT. 



The questions found on the following pages are answered by 
a simple reading of the different divisions of the chapters in 
Morning, Noon and Night, to which they refer. They are 
designedly made as brief as possible, leaving the way open for 
farther questions, and also for remarks. In the family circle 
or Bible-class, let one ask the questions, another read the an- 
swers tfl which they refer, while others present search out and 
read in turn the passages of Scripture quoted. 

The following will serve as a specimen of the method. (See 
Morning, Noon, and Night.) 1st Sabbath morning. Ques- 
tion. What is the 1st theme? Answer. The beginning. Ques. 
When were all things created ? Ans. Gen. 1:1. In the begin- 
ning God created the Heaven and the Earth. Ques. What are 
the works which God approves? Ans. Works of propriety 
and consistency, prosecuted with vigor and zeal, secure the 
Divine approbation ; but enterprises of folly find no favor with 

God. 

Lord, may the year we now begin 
Be marked by purity from sin ; 
A year of virtue, truth, and love, 
Tending to holy joys above. 

See Matthew 5:16. Let your light so shine before men that 
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which 
is in Heaven. Ques. Who may look forward with joyful hope ? 



IV INTRODUCTION". 

Ans. Those who look up to God as their Father, to Christ as 
their Saviour, and to the Holy Ghost as their Comforter and 
Guide, may look forward with joyful hope ; but every other 
dependence affords but a dark and dreary prospect. Sec 
Romans 8: 31. What shall* we then say to these things? if 
God be for us, who can be against us? 

1st Remark. How important is light! even God did not 
work without it. Verse 3. And God said, Let there be light, 
and there was light. 2d Remark. Every thing we undertake 
should be reduced to proper order. Verse 10. And God called 
the dry land Earth ; and the gathering together of the waters 
called He Seas. And God saw that it was good. 3d Remark. 
Whatever has the stamp of Divine approbation is very good. 
Verse 31. And God saw every thing that He had made, and 
behold it was very good. 

Prayer. Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be TnY 
name. Oh ! may the year upon which we now enter be char- 
acterized by purity and love throughout. To the world may 
it be a year of Thine especial grace in breaking the slumbers 
of death and in bringing sinners to Christ. To Zion, may it 
be- a year of refreshing and enlargement. To families, may it 
be marked by the especial tokens of Thy saving, sanctifying 
grace. And may individuals the world over be made joyful 
by reason of Thine abounding compassion and love. 

Come, Lord, and drive our foes away ; 
Teach us to labor, watch, and pray ; 
Oh ! reconcile us by Thy grace, 
That we may see Thy smiling face. 

The foregoing may serve to illustrate the method of using 
the work. 



INTRODUCTION. V 

The words, Morning, Noon, and Night, applying to six days 
of the week, and those referring to the Sabbaths, namely, 
Morning, Forenoon, Noon, Afternoon, and Night, are used for 
the purpose of distributing the chapters in the Bible through- 
out the days of the year ; so that, in using the work, all the 
chapters in the Bible are yearly brought to view, besides con- 
stantly comparing Scripture with Scripture. 

When the work is used in the family, (either morning or 
evening, at pleasure,) all the exercises for the day can be gone 
through with in the space of about twenty minutes for the 
week days, and thirty for the Sabbaths. To make the exer- 
cise doubly profitable, let the chapters in the Bible, as far as 
possible, be previously read by each one privately. 

The first stanza of poetry in each exercise should be read in 
connection with the aphorism answering the third question in 
each series. In this manner let the exercises for the day be 
gone through with before taking up the prayers. When one 
prayer is offered, let the verse following it be sung, and so on 
until all are finished. When convenient, different members 
of the family may lead, thus constituting a daily family prayer- 
meeting. 

Oh ! how blessed ! pray and sing, 

To the Lord your offerings bring, 
Worship with delight. 

Search the Scriptures every day, 

Keep the strait and narrow way, 
Morning, Noon, and Night. 

N. B. — The dates in this work correspond with leap-year 
1860, beginning with Sabbath; as it was in that year that 
Noon and Night, was written.

REST FOE THE WEARY. 209 



REST FOR THE WEARY. 

Job 3 : IV. There the weary be at rest. 

In the house of God, in glory, 

There is everlasting rest ; 
Jesus has prepared the mansions 
Where His people shall be blest. 
"There is rest for the weary," 
There is life ever cheery, 
A bright home never dreary, 
A sweet home of love. 
" On the other side of Jordan, 
In the sweet fields of Eden^ 
Where the tree of life is blooming, 
There is rest " above. 

We shall see the loving Saviour, 

And with Him forever rest ; 
He will strengthen each endeavor, 
Till our souls are fully blest. 

There" is hope for the tearful, 
There is joy for the contrite, 
There is peace for the humble, 

A sweet rest on high. 
In yon smiling world of glory, 
On the bright plains of heaven, 
Where angelic choirs are singing, 
There is not a sigh. 

He has made us crowns of glory, 

And they ever are at hand ; 
We shall wear those crowns forever, 
In yon bright and happy land. . 
When the warfare is over, 
When the last foe is vanquished, 
When our sorrows are all ended, 

How will pleasures spring ! 
Rising up in youthful beauty, 
Clad in white robes of glory, 
To our golden harps in heaven 
We shall sweetly sing. 



210 LIGHT AFFLICTION. 

Christ will send the holy angels 

To conduct us home to rest ; 
We shall find a joyful welcome 
Where the saints are fully blest. 

We shall bow with the lowly, 

We shall rise with the holy, 

We shall triumph with the mighty, 

Bright in bliss above. 
On the golden streets of Eden, 
By the sweet springs of Canaan, 
Where eternal joys are flowing, * 
We shall rest in love. 



LIGHT AFFLICTION. 

2 Corinthians 4 : 1*7. For our light affliction, which is but for a 
moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of 
glory. 

" Light affliction," sent in mercy, 
Pointing downward to the tomb ; 
Upward to a Father's dwelling 
Where diseases never come. 

what blessings ! light afflictions, 
Tokens of a Father's love. 

"Light affliction," voice from Heaven, 
Calling us from sin away ; 
Timely warning, kindly given, 
Leading us to watch and pray. 

Oh ! how great the consolation, 
We may look to God and pray. 

" Light affliction," God's compassion, 
Token of His tender love, 
Working out complete salvation 
In yon happy home above. 

Oh! how sweet the consolation, 
These afflictions come from God. 

" Light affliction," free salvation, 

Sinners saved by sovereign grace, 
Brought to dwell with Christ in glory, 
And to see His lovely face. 

Oh ! how rich the consolation, 
We shall sin and sigh no more. 



SUFFERING SAVIOUR. 211 



SUFFERING SAVIOUR. 

1 Peter 2 : 24. Who His Own Self bare our sins in His Own 
body on the tree. 

Dear Jesus, didst Thou die for me, 

And shed thy precious blood ? 
Wast Thou in anguish on the tree, 
To bring me home to God ? 

the love, the matchless love ! 

The love of Calvary ! 
The love of God's eternal Son 
To save a wretch like me. 

No wonder rocks asunder burst, 

And sleeping saints arose, 
When Jesus agonized in death 

To save his cruel foes. 
the love ! etc.* 

He conquered with His dying breath, 

He triumphed when He' fell ; 
Redeemed our souls from sin and death, 

And broke the powers of helL

Dear Saviour, take this heart of mine, 

This heart of misery, 
Oh ! make it wholly like to Thine 

In love und purity.

Then will I sing Thy matchless love 

In sweeter, nobler strains, 
When called to dwell with Thee above 

Where holy pleasure reigns.

Objections to written prayers bear directly upon the usage 
of the saints, as recorded both in the Old and New Testa- 
ments. We have a written prayer "of Moses, the man of 
God." See Psalm 90. David wrote his prayers. See Psalm 
51, and many others. Habakkuk did the same. See his 
third chapter. Our Saviour dictated a prayer for general use, 
in which He tells us just what to say. Luke 11 : 2. His 
prayer on behalf of His disciples, and for all of every age, is 
a written prayer. See John 17. Thus we see, without further 
reference, that objections to written prayers bear directly 
against the word of God. The following prayers are based on 
selections from the Holy Scriptures, and are designed for 
general use either in the closet, the family, or the social circle. 
They may be used literally or as suggestive ; and further, they 
are designed to keep the attention fixed, by uniting both heart 
and voice in occasional song. 

As the title-page denominates these prayers "A Bond of 
Christian Union," let us consider whether such a bond of 
union in prayer to God, on behalf of a dying world, is not 
both practicable and desirable. Let Christians but resolve to 
meet at a throne of grace, morning, noon, and night, and to 
agree in their prayers touching the triumphs of the Gospel, 

215 



IV INTRODUCTION. 

and the bond is complete. "When we consider that the earth 
is constantly revolving on its axis, it follows that the terms, 
morning, noon, and night, are merely local, and therefore, an 
agreement on the part of the Christian world, in thus coming 
before God, constitutes an indissoluble bond. How desirable 
and pleasant the thought, that in approaching a throne of 
grace we are uniting with countless thousands, touching the 
greatest and most important of all enterprises. Christian 
friends, shall it thus be? 

Shall we unite from day to day 
Before the Lord to plead and pray ? 
Oh I why not trust His promised grace, 
And plead for all our ruined race ?

SABBATH MORNHSTG-. 

Psalm 48 : 12. Walk about Zion, and go around about her : tell 
the towers thereof, mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces ; 
that ye may tell it to the generation following. 



Come, walk about Zion, her bul- 
warks behold, 

Her glory and beauty, see how 
they unfold ; 

Her towers so mighty, impregna- 
ble, high, 

Still pointing to mansions of rest 
in the sky. 



Her walls of salvation, her palaces 
see, 

The purchased redemption, so full 
and so free ; 

Mount Zion, how lovely! let pil- 
grims arise, 

And journey still forward, to rest 
in the skies. 



Blessed be Thy name, glorious Father, that the pilgrim on 
earth may look up with holy anticipations, and exclaim — 
Zion, sweet Zion ! the home of the blest, Where all are secure 
and forever at rest ; Where all from corruption and sorrow are 
free, Zion, sweet Zion ! my home is in thee. And everlast- 
ing praise to Thy name for a day of rest and a house of prayer. 
O Lord ! help and enable us to rejoice that Zion rests on the 
Rock of Ages, and is cheered by the light of holy truth — truth 
whereby sinners are humbled, saints comforted, and a benight- 
ed world brought to see the way of life. Oh ! may Thy great 
name be glorified throughout the world, and all mankind 
brought to delight in the Sabbath, the sanctuary, and the holy 
Bible. May the Holy Ghost regenerate, renew, and restore 
man to his Maker wherever the Gospel is preached ; and may 
the Gospel trumpet soon speak peace throughout the world — 
Sweet peace in believing, the peace of Thy love, Salvation in 
Jesus, shed down from above ; The peace of redemption, the 
sinner set free, Joined to the Redeemer, accepted with Thee. 
This day, Lord ! may Gospel truth be faithfully published, 
and Gospel ordinances administered to the edification of Zion, 
and also to the awakening and welfare of those who are yet in 
the way of sin and death. May Thy servants be endowed 
with wisdom from on high, and be full of the Holy Ghost and 
of faith ; and may Thy word of truth be as a fire, and like a 
hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces, yea, that it may be 
" quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, 
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of 
the joints and marrow," and disclosing to all who hear their 
true character and condition. And will the Lord, of His 



217 



PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. 



abounding mercy, soon supply the destitute with the bread of 
life, and by His reconciling grace, bring all the world to the 
cross of Christ, and to the joys of pardoned sin? .And oh ! 
that the throne of Thy grace may afford to every member of 
Zion peculiar pleasure, still leading to higher degrees of holy 
communion with Thee, and with one another, and to more deep 
and genuine abasement in the dust of contrition, penitence, and 
sorrow for sin. And now, our Father, blessed be Thy name 
for the light and comforts of this holy morning, and for all the 
mercies of the past. O Lord ! be our Keeper to-day ; shield 
us from the tempter's power, guide us in the path of life, blot 
out all our sins, fill our minds with light, and our hearts with 
love ; and oh ! may grace, mercy, and peace abound in Zion, 
until she shall look u forth as the morning, fair as the moon, 
clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners" — yea, 
until the inmates of glory shall look down and sing — How lovely 
is Zion, the child of God's grace, Enrobed in salvation, restored 
to His face ; Accepted in Jesus, with holiness blest, And des- 
tined to heaven, where all are at rest. And to Thy name be 
glory, as it was, is now, and shall be forever. Amen. 



BEFORE GOING TO CHURCH. 

Psalm 122 : 1. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go up to 
the house of the Lord. 



Thine earthly courts, God of 

grace ! 
Disclose Thy lovely, smiling face ; 
With joy we rise and take the road 
That leads us to Thy blest abode. 



How joyful is the call of 

love, 
Directing us to God above ; 
How truly pleasant to record 
The tender mercies of the Lord. 



Gracious Father, glory be unto Thee ! The hour of public 
and delightful service is at hand. Oh ! that we may find ac- 
ceptance in Jesus, and grace to help in this our time of need, 
that we may appear before Thee with propriety, and be enabled 
to worship in the beauty of holiness. — With true contrition, 
faith, and love, Lord, may we in Thy house appear ! Oh ! 
send Thy Spirit from above, To fill each heart with holy cheer. 
And will the Lord enable us to hear and understand His word, 
and to profit by the reading thereof. — May Bible truth be our

delight ! Lord, may we love the sacred page ; Nor ever once 
its records slight, Oh ! may they still our thoughts engage. In 
holy song, gracious Father, give us instruction, that we may 
sing with the spirit, and with the understanding also. — Attune 
our hearts to songs of praise, Oh Lull our souls with light and 
love ; By grace would we our voices raise, And join the holy 
choirs above. And will the Lord make the preaching of the 
Gospel and the ordinances of His house a blessing indeed, to 
all who assemble before Him this day ? — Oh ! may Thine earthly 
dwelling-place Abound in scenes of holy love ; May floods of 
sovereign, saving grace Still bear us on to joys above. And to 
this end, Lord ! endow Thy servants with wisdom from on 
high. — Oh! give them knowledge, unction, power, May every 
word a blessing prove ; Make this, Lord ! a favored hour, A 
season of redeeming love. And may the Gospel be attended 
with power wherever dispensed this day, that sinners may be 
awakened, humbled, and enabled to look up to Jesus with true 
repentance for sin, and by a living faith in the efficacy of His 
blood. And may any who have wandered, or backslidden, 
be safely gathered again into the fold. — Oh ! may Thy hand of 
sovereign grace, Restore and set the prisoners free ; May light 
go forth to all our race, Till the whole world Thy glory see. 
So, gracious Father! may we, and all who appear before 
Thee in Thine earthly courts this day, enjoy Thy favor, and 
have our faith renewed, and hopes confirmed, and our joys in- 
creased. May we return to our homes enriched with spiritual 
treasures, and more fully armed with the invincible weapons of 
holy truth, that we may be the better prepared to fight the 
good fight of faith, and to lay hold of eternal life. And, our 
Father, may the afflicted, the destitute, and all who in Thy 
providence are cut off or restrained from Thine earthly sanctu- 
ary, be objects of Thine especial mercy, and blessed with sanc- 
tifying and sustaining grace. — Thus may redeeming, saving 
love Rejoice and fill each waiting heart; The Gospel a rich 
blessing prove, As we from Zion's courts depart. By grace, 
Lord! be it our joy, To join with all the ransomed host; 
And sweetest songs of praise employ, To Father, Son, and 
Holy Ghost. Amen.

ON RETURNING- FBOM CHURCH. 

Psalm 9*7 : 11. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for 
the upright in heart. 



'Tis light from heaven that cheers 

our way, 
To climes of peace in endless day, 
'Tis heavenly light and holy love 
That lead to brighter worlds above. 



With joy and courage let us go, 
Through all our pilgrimage below, 
With joy triumphant we shall 

rise 
And shout salvation in the skies. 



Gracious Father, blessed be Thy name for an open sanc- 
tuary, for the light of life, for the joys of salvation, for the 
associations of Thine house, and for the precious truths there 
dispensed. Oh ! may Thy Spirit make effectual a preached 
Gospel to which retiring multitudes have just attended. May 
sinners be awakened to a sense of their undone state, and led 
to realize their need of salvation through atoning blood. Oh ! 
give them to see and understand their danger ; may they be 
troubled on account of sin, and brought with true penitence 
of heart to confess and forsake their evil ways, and their un- 
righteous thoughts, pleading for mercy in Jesus' worthy name. 
And, Lord ! bless those who inquire, and whose anxieties 
are often awakened. May the work of conviction be deepened, 
and the anxious led to know Thee as a Father reconciled. 
And, Lord ! have mercy on such as have backslidden and 
wandered from the fold, especially on such as mourn their 
departures and their backslidden state. Oh! may such be 
comforted, restored, and made again to rejoice in the consola- 
tions of Thine unchanging love. — Thus may almighty power and 
grace Arouse the guilty of our race, And lead a careless world 
to see Their danger and Thy remedy. And will the Lord 
abundantly bless and sanctify the faithful, the steadfast, the 
upright, and all who believe, whether in Thine house to-day, 
or otherwise situated in TnY Providence. — Oh ! cheer Thy peo- 
ple from above, May grace in gentle showers of love, Refresh, 
renew, and still impart Increasing joy to every heart. And, 
Lord ! have mercy on those who come not to Thine house 
of prayer, but shun the counsels of heaven against themselves. 
Oh ! leave them not to perish in their unbelief. May awakening 
power bring them to see their awful danger, to tremble with 
fear, and to flee before it is eternally too late. Oh ! may the 
time soon come when all who live within reach of Thine

earthly courts shall be found devoutly waiting upon Thee 
there. — Bring all, Lord ! to love the better way, And in 
Thine earthly courts devoutly pray, To glory in Thy grace to 
sinners given, And onward press to find a home in heaven. 
Thus, gracious Father, may light prevail and grace abound 
until the Gospel is preached throughout the world, and the 
fertilizing dews of heaven make Zion to flourish as the lily, 
and to cast forth her roots as Lebanon, causing her light to go 
forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth, 
until princes shall come out of Egypt, and all the kingdoms 
of the earth sing praises to Thy great name, yea, until Ethiopia 
shall stretch out her hands unto God, and every dominion and 
power pay their homage at Thy feet— Thus, Lord ! May every 
land be full of peace, And holy pleasure still increase ; May 
earth with all the heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and 
Holy Ghost. Amen. 



Hebrews 4 :

Immeasurably blest. 



Our Father, Who art in heaven, glory be unto Thee, Tnou 
art worthy to be supremely loved, obeyed, and held in grateful 
remembrance. Thou hast provided rest and peace for the 
weary, careworn pilgrim. — A blest inheritance on high, Where 
streams of pleasure ne'er run dry, Where holy joys abound ; 
Where truth, and love, and righteousness, Our minds refresh, 
our spirits bless, In one eternal round. Lord ! may this 
inheritance be our high pursuit ; and may all our purposes be 
formed with reference thereunto. Thou hast given us Sabbath 
seasons and sanctuary privileges, glory be unto Thee. The 
ordinances of the Gospel have been to us supplied from our 
earliest infancy, but alas ! how little have we profited thereby:

Thy word of truth and the throne of Thy grace, how low have

pleasure and delight, While here on earth we roam, And when 
we leave this earthly clod, Oh ! may we rise to dwell with God, 
And find in heaven our home. Blessed be Thy name, gracious 
Father, that Tnou hast added to our probation another day of 
rest. The doors of Thine earthly sanctuary have been opened, 
the voice of prayer has been lifted up, Thy praises have been 
celebrated in the songs of Zion, and the Gospel has been 
preached to assembled multitudes, calling sinners to repentance, 
saints to obedience, and all to the Lamb of God, Who taketh 
away the sins of the world. Blessed be Thy name for such 
great and precious privileges. Oh ! that effectual grace, by the 
powers of the Holy Ghost, may set home the truth, that both 
saint and sinner may be benefited indeed. In mercy, O Lord ! 
send forth the light of holy truth, and the ordinances of sal- 
vation to all nations, and let the earth's remotest bound be 
cheered by the sound of the Gospel trumpet. — May every soul 
from sin be free, To love, obey, and honor Thee, And celebrate 
Thy praise. In loftiest strains of holy joy, Where death and 
sin no more annoy, Through everlasting days. And, O gracious 
Father ! may all who truly believe have increasing pleasure 
and peace in the enjoyment of the Sabbath, the sanctuary, the 
holy Bible, and a throne of grace, and will the Lord forgive 
the sins of our most holy services and grant us the light of 
Thy countenance at the close of this holy da}' ? And, Lord ! 
grant that we may have quiet and refreshing slumbers this 
night also, and safety by Thy care ; and when we no longer 
sleep and awake in this world of toil and conflict, may our 
portion be with those who are holy, harmless, and undefiled, 
whose robes are washed and made white in the blood of the 
Lamb. Yea, Lord ! may we be with those who hunger no 
more, who thirst no more, and from whose eyes all tears are 
wiped away. — And not to us" gracious Lord ! Not unto us 
will we record The wonders of Thy grace, But to Thy name 
be glory given, Both here on earth and still in heaven, By all 
the ransomed race. Evermore, Amen.

this world of sorrow ; and oh ! that all men may be loyal

Till sin and sorrow flee away, And all Thy holy will obey. 
Yea, Lord ! until the wilderness and the solitary place be 
glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the 
rose ; until the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come 
to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads, and 
the days of their mourning are forever ended. Oh ! say unto

May fervent prayers to Thee be made ; And when we rise to 
worlds above, Our songs shall celebrate Thy love. Glory be 
unto Thy name in the highest, that there is peace on earth and 
good will towards men ; that there are those who pray at noon- 
day, seeking Thy grace in Christ. Oh ! may the number of 
such be multiplied a thousand-fold ; yea, may the time soon 
come when a holy convocation of the entire Christian world

shall bring their noon- day offerings and unite in Thy worship. 
— When all with cheerful voice and song, And noon-day joys 
Thy praise prolong ; When all sincerely, humbly pray, And 
still Thy holy will obey. And Loed ! grant unto us the light 
of Thy countenance and the guidance of the Holy Ghost in all 
our approaches into Thy presence. May our prayers accord 
with Thy good pleasure, and be offered in true submission to 
Thy holy will. — Oh ! may we love Thy holy will, And seek 
Thy counsels to fulfill ; Oh ! grant us grace to watch and pray, 
And fear before thee day by day. Accepted in Jesus, may 
peace and safety be our portion, and under Thy direction may 
we ever journey. And Lord ! may the light of truth, and 
the joys of Thy salvation fill the world with love. — May grace 
prevail o'er land and sea, And every heart from sin be free ; 
May harmony, and love, and peace, Their reign begin, and 
never cease. Oh ! give us righteousness and truth for our 
breastplate and girdle, and faith and salvation as our shield and 
helmet. May the wolf dwell with the lamb, and the leopard 
lie down with the kid ; the calf, the young lion, and the failing 
dwell together ; the cow and the bear feed in the same pasture, 
and their young ones lie down in the same fold. And may the 
time soon come when the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and 
dust shall be the serpent's meat; yea, when the sucking child 
shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall 
put his hand on the cocatrice's den; when they shall not hurt 
nor destroy in all Thy holy mountain ; but when the earth 
shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover 
the seas ; yea, — When beams of joy shall play on every face, 
When every heart shall be subdued by grace; When every 
mountain, valley, wood, and grove, Shall ring with notes of 
harmony and love. Yea, also, when the heavens shall sing, 
for the Lord hath done it ; when the lower parts of the earth 
shall rejoice, and the mountains break forth in holy song, be- 
cause the Lord hath redeemed His people and glorified His 
great name in the up-building of Zion. — Thus, Lord ! May uni- 
versal praise, Attend our peaceful, happy days; And earth, 
with all the heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy 
Ghost. Amen.

MONDAY NIGHT. 

Psalm 92 : 1. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, 
and to sing praises unto Thy name, Most High : To show forth Thy 
loving-kindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night. 



At early dawn, with cheerful voice, 
Before the Lord let us rejoice ; 
And with the closing evening shade, 
To Him be supplications made. 



How good to do His holy will, 
With joy His counsels to fulfill ; 
How sweet His holy name to love, 
And rise to dwell with Him above. 



Glory be unto Thy name, heavenly Father, for protecting 
care and preserving grace. It is of the Lord's mercy that we 
are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. — Praise to 
Thy name, God of love ! 'Tis grace descending from above, 
Awakes our joy with morning light, And cheers the hours of 
gloomy night. Lord ! behold us in mercy at this time, and 
make us wise to worship and bow at Thy mercy-seat. Blessed 
be Thy name for the mercies of one more day. By Thy gracious 
care we have been brought along the journey of life in peace, and 
are now before thee under circumstances of great favor. 
Lord ! give us hearts of grateful praise and holy love, in view 
of the distinguishing mercies we enjoy ; and may the favors so 
freely bestowed on us soon be the lot and portion of all men. 
Oh ! send the provision and consolations of the Gospel through- 
out the world. — May Jesus reign, and sorrows cease, May hu- 
man hearts be full of peace ; May light prevail from shore to 
shore, And Satan dwell on earth no more. To this end, we 
pray for the peace and enlargement of Zion, for the revival of 
pure and undefiled religion in every Christian's heart, and for 
seasons of refreshing continually. Abundantly bless, Lord ! 
those who are placed as watchmen on the walls of Zion, and 
also those who are called to bear rule in Thine house. May all 
such enjoy especial grace, and be made successful in fulfilling 
the responsible duties of their calling. And will the Lord 
regard with grace and favor all those who bear rule over their 
fellow-men. Oh ! may the executive and civil authorities of 
our nation be made wise, prudent, faithful, and successful in 
conducting the affairs of government. Lord ! deliver them 
from low and selfish aims, and endow them with true patriot- 
ism and a sincere desire for their country's welfare ; and may 
the day soon dawn when those in authority throughout the 
world, w r hether in Church or State, shall be Divinely directed,

and have an eye single to Thy glory in all things. And 
Lord ! extend the dominion of Gospel light and holy love, 
and give unto Jesus the heathen for His inheritance, and the 
utmost parts of the earth for His possession. — May Pagan, 
Jew, and infidel, No more blaspheme, no more rebel ; Oh ! 
may one faith to all abound, And light and truth spread all 
around. Blessed be thy name, glorious Father, for the mer- 
cies of one more day. Oh ! that we may now have peace and 
forgiveness through the mediation of Jesus. And will the 
Lord be our Keeper, that we may rest in safety during the 
silent watches of the night, and that we may awake refreshed 
to see the light of one more day ? And when the days of toil 
and nights of repose are ended on earth, may we join with 
those who have the prospect of a glorious immortality in 
view. — Eternal rest in boundless light, Beyond the shades of 
gloomy night ; Where the united, happy host, Praise Father, 
Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. 



TUESDAY MOBHIETG. 

1 Samuel 2:9. He will keep the feet of His saints, but the wicked 
shall be silent in darkness ; for by strength shall no man prevail. 



Our willing feet the Lord will keep, 
And rule our hearts with tender 
love; 
At home, abroad, awake, asleep, 
We shall His saving mercy 
prove. 



But those who dare despise His 
grace, 
, And disregard His holy name, 
Shall never see His smiling face, 
But sink in darkness, fire, and 
shame. 



Gracious Father, Who art in heaven, to Thy name be glory 
evermore. Thou hast given us in Thy word this blessed as- 
surance that while the wicked are silent in darkness Thou wilt 
keep the feet of Thy saints. — Oh ! leave us not to go astray, 
But guide our feet in wisdom's way, Help us to keep the nar- 
row road, To heaven's secure and blest abode. Thou, Lord ! 
hast instituted in our world a kingdom of purity and peace. Oh ! 
that the light of life may banish darkness from the earth, and 
superstition from the minds of all men, that all being Divinely 
instructed, may turn from vain dependencies, and make the 
Lord Jesus their only trust. Oh ! that all may regard the 
lively oracles of Thy holy word as their only rule of faith, and,

being taught by the Holy Ghost, may delight therein. — Oh ! 
may each heart be tuned to sing, New songs of praise to 
Christ our King, Oh! that our gratitude may rise, As holy 
incense to the skies. We bless Thy name, Lord ! for past 
mercies and for all Thy goodness at the present moment. As 
we are blest with abounding comforts, so may all the families 
of our entire land and nation share Thy grace. Thou, Lord ! 
hast raised us to a very high'degree of liberty and enjoyment. 
Oh ! that we may rejoice in Thee and delight to do Thy holy 
will. May those who bear rule over us be guided by Thy 
counsel, and subject to Thy control, and may every evil be put 
away and Thy grace in Christ fill our land with joy. Yen, 
and may every land be thus Divinely blest. — Thy saving grace 
on all bestow, May every land and nation, know The way of 
life through Jesus blood, The way to holiness and God. Oh ! 
that true repentance may every where prevail, that all may 
pray as David did, " Have mercy on me, O God ! according 
to the multitude of Thy tender mercies, blot out my trans- 
gressions, wash me thoroughly from mine iniquities, and 
cleanse me from my sins. Create in me a clean heart, God ! 
and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from 
Thy presence, and take not Thy holy spirit from me." Thus 
may sinners by thousands find reconciliation and peace with 
Thee. And will the Lord be our keeper evermore. May the 
words we speak and the thoughts we entertain be acceptable 
in Thy sight ; and will the Lord feed us with food convenient 
for us, and shield us from the tempter's power; make us to 
know our end, and the measure of our days what it is, that we 
may know how frail we are. Teach us so to number our days 
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom and lay up our 
treasures in heaven. May the light of Tny countenance shine 
upon our path, and the consolations of thy love cheer our hearts. 
— At home, abroad, where'er we go, Still may we Thy protec- 
tion know, And from temptation wholly free, Oh ! may we love 
to honor Thee. And when the journey of life is finished, 
when its scenes of toil and rest are closed, may we depart to 
be with Christ, and to dwell in Thy presence where is fullness 
of joy, and at Thy right hand where are pleasures for evermore. 
Amen.

TUESDAY DSTOOM". 

John 1-7 : 20. Neither pray I for these a] one, but for them also 
which shall believe on Me through their word. 



Behold He prays and intercedes, 
For us in agony He bleeds. 
In Him accepted we may rise, 
And dwell in bliss beyond the 



blessed Master ! praise to Thee 
Thy grace is full, abounding, free, 
And all who love Thee anc 

believe 
Shall everlasting life receive. 



Glory be unto Thy name, heavenly Father, for an Almighty 
and loving Saviour. One who lives to make intercessions for 
us, and Whom we may honor, even as we honor Thee. — Blessed 
Redeemer, didst thou pray, For all who love, believe, obey ? 
Oh ! may the world Thy grace receive, May all Thy word of 
truth believe. gracious Father ! in the worthy name of 
Jesus may prayers effectual, fervent, and true, be offered up 
to Thee at this time, and may all who wait upon Thee re- 
new their strength, enjoy the light of Thy countenance, and 
the presence of the Holy Comforter. — May songs and prayers 
and grateful praise, Betoken brighter, better days, Till notes of 
holy joy are sung, In every land by every tongue. Lord ! 
awaken a spirit of prayer and supplication in every believer's 
heart, and may all who engage in prayer be enabled to lift up 
holy hands without wrath and doubting. At this hour, O 
Lord ! let Thine ears he attentive to the prayers of Zion, and 
may refreshings be enjoyed by all who wait upon Thee. May 
confessions be made with true penitence and sorrow, and par- 
doning mercy sought in the exercise of a living faith. — May 
those who pray renew their strength, And rise on wings of 
faith and love ; Still pressing forward, till at length, They rest 
with all the saints above. And will the Lord of His tender com- 
passion hear and answer the particular prayers offered during 
this passing hour ? Prayers for parents, for children, for hus- 
bands, for wives, for the oppressed, the afflicted, and the sorrow- 
ful. Prayers on behalf of families, countries, states, nations, and 
all such as are in authority. Lord ! in mercy awaken in the 
hearts of all thy people a spirit of grace and supplication. 
— And may the voice of fervent prayer Secure Thy tender, 
gracious care, Till prayer is turned to grateful praise, In 
heaven's unclouded happy days. And now, gracious Father, 
be merciful unto us, and conduct us safely as we journey, and

may the voice of Thy love, speaking from Thy providence and 
Thy word, cheer and comfort our hearts to the close of our 
earthly pilgrimage. Oh ! that we may be of the number who 
overcome by the blood of the Lamb, who through faith and 
patience inherit the promises, who are never weary in well- 
doing, and who have no fellowship with the unfruitful workers 
of darkness. Yea, Lord ! may truth be our guide, right- 
eousness our breast-plate, faith our shield, salvation our helmet, 
Thy word of truth our sword, and holiness our crown. By 
grace may we war a good warfare, finish our course with joy, 
and triumph over every foe. — And when our days are num- 
bered on earth, Oh ! then may holy angels come, To be our 
convoy safely home, Where saints and angels all unite, And 
make Thy service their delight. And unto Father, Son, and 
Holy Ghost, be glory, as it was, is now, and shall be ever- 
more. Amen. 



TUESDAY NIGHT. 

Ephesians 6 : 4. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to 
wrath : but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the 
Lord. 



Kind Father, let Thy glory 
be 
Our constant joy, our life, our 
aim; 
May children consecrate to Thee, 
Be taught to fear Thy holy 
name. 



Lord be their guardian, keeper, 
guide, 
Along life's dangerous, toilsome 
road ; • 
Oh ! keep them ever near Thy side, 
And bring them to thy blest 
abode. 



Blessed be Thy name, glorious Father, that imperishable 
treasures are provided ; and that we may labor, receive wages, 
and gather fruit unto life eternal. Lord ! direct our labors, 
and endow us with wisdom and strength to fill up our measure 
of usefulness to Thy praise and glory. If guided of Thee, we 
shall not labor in vain ; but left to ourselves we spend our strength 
for naught. Thou hast spread before us a field of infinite 
importance in the cultivation of the youthful mind, and in 
affording us the privilege of praying for their welfare. Oh ! 
then be Thou sought unto on their behalf, and command upon 
them Tuy blessing, that they may remember Thee their 
Creator in the days of their youth ; and give heed to Thy

warning and instructive voice in the morning of life. — Oh ! 
make them wise now in their youth, To love Thy holy law of 
truth ; Yea, wise to know and understand, Each heavenly 
precept and command. May grace, mercy, and peace be 
the portion of both parents and children, that parents may 
be exemplary, faithful, and successful in training up their 
children, and may the young be dutiful, affectionate, and 
apt to receive instruction. Lord ! have mercy on the 
rising generation. In early life may they be objects of Tht 
compassion and subjects of Tht renewing grace, that they 
may come forth like the bright beams of the morning reflecting 
the light of the Sun of Righteousness on a dark and benighted 
world. From their ranks, Lord ! may there come forth 
many who, like Paul of old, determine not to know any tbing 
save Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and whom Thou wilt 
own as heralds of salvation to a lost world. Oh ! that Christ- 
ian parents may have the inexpressible pleasure of seeing 
their children early reconciled and blest with joyful hopes, — 
Hopes full of immortality, Affording peace and liberty ; Hopes 
crowned with life and holy love, And rising still to joys above. 
Blessed be Thy name for an enterprise of such high moment. 
Oh! that these our labors may be directed and owned of 
Thee. Blessed be Thy name for mercy hitherto. May we 
still be objects of Thy compassion and of Thy pardoning mercy. 
And may all whom we should remember in prayer share in the 
blessings we enjoy. And will the Lord be our keeper this 
night and henceforth. — Oh ! may we rest inclosed with love, 
Guarded by angels from above ; Until refreshed from sleep we 
rise, To pay our morning sacrifice. And when life's toils and 
cares are o'er, Oh ! may we land on Canaan's shore, And there 
with notes of sweetest praise, Rejoice through everlasting days. 
And not unto us, Lord ! not unto us, but to Thy name be 
glory forever. Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. 

1 Timothy 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplica- 
tions, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all 
men; for kings, and for all that are in authority ; that we may lead 
a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 



On ! come, the day, the happy day, 
When all shall Zion's King obey ; 
When sin shall reign ou earth no 

more, 
When all shall worship and adore. 



May light and love cheer every heart, 
Oh! may the world from sin de- 
part; 
May Jesus reign and truth abound, 
And holy joys spread all around. 



Glory be unto Thy name, heavenly Father, for life, with all 
its mercies and comforts. — In holy song Thy grace we sing, 
Through Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King; Oh! may 
our hearts be full of cheer, Of holy love and filial fear. We 
have laid us down and slept in peace, and we have awoke in 
safety, because Thou hast sustained us. — We'll praise Thee 
with our latest breath, And when our voice is lost in death, In 
sweeter, holier, loftier strains, Oh ! may we sing where Jesus 
reigns. And will the Lord, for Christ's sake, bring all men to 
see His salvation, that the ends of the earth may remember 
and turn unto God, and all the kindreds of the nations come 
and worship before Him ? — May kings obey, submit, believe, 
And magistrates Thy grace receive ; May thrones and powers 
before Thee meet, And pay their homage at Thy feet. To this 
end, may the day of Zion's enlargement quickly come, and the 
number of her converts be multiplied as the drops of the morn- 
ing dew. — Oh ! may Thy free, restoring grace, Abound to all 
our ruined race ; That all, subdued, restored, made free, May 
rise to immortality. And, Lord ! we pray for the sick and 
the afflicted, the sad and the bereaved, the poor and the 
needy, that all such may be objects of Thy compassion and of 
Thy people's sympathy and tender regard. — May grace cheer 
up the mourning soul, And make the wounded spirit whole ; 
May grace relieve the sick, the poor, And human woes be known 
no more. Thus, heavenly Father, may all be blessed, renewed, 
sanctified, and accepted in Christ, and true godliness and hon- 
esty universally prevail. And will the Lord in mercy be our 
Keeper, Benefactor, and Guide this day; that we may be 
restrained from vice and folly, secured from evil and from the 
tempter's power, guided in the way of wisdom, virtue, and

truth, and enabled to overcome evil with good. Feed us, 
Lord ! with food convenient for us, and make us to know 
our end and the measure of our days, what it is, that we may 
know how frail we are. May we have an unction from the 
Holy One, even the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and so be en- 
lightened, quickened, cheered, strengthened, humbled, and 
qualified for every duty. Oh ! satisfy us early with Thy mercy, 
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Let Thy work 
be our pleasure, and Thy glory our chief end and aim ; and let 
the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us ; and establish 
Thou the work of our hands upon us — yea, the work of our 
hand, establish Thou it. — Thus, Lord, renewed, made wholly 
free, May we delight to honor Thee ; And when no longer here 
we roam, Oh ! may we find in heaven our home ; A home the 
fruit of Jesus' blood, With all the virtuous and the good; 
Where peace and holiness prevail, And joys immortal never 
fail. And to Thy name be glory, as it was, is now, and shall 
be forever. Amen. 



WEDNESDAY NOON". 

Daniel 9 : 3. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by 
prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. 



gracious Master ! let me be 
An humble follower of Thee ; 
Thy lovely image let me bear, 
And in Thy kingdom freely 
share. 



May holy love and joy abound, 
And raptures spread the world 

around ; 
May every soul from sin be free, 
And songs of praise abound to Thee 



Lord ! to Thy name be glory forever ! Thou hearest 
prayer, and by Thy hand of grace the enslaved find liberty. 
— Praying, fasting, supplication, Well become the captive soul. 
Thou bestowest free salvation, From the enemy's control. 
Thou alone canst set the prisoner free, And give him peace and 
perfect liberty. Oh ! that, like Daniel of old, multitudes may 
offer prayers and supplications three times a day, and in answer 
to the effectual and fervent prayers of Thy children, may the 
world soon be brought into the dust of true repentance and 
godly sorrow for sin ; and when thus humbled, may renewing

and sanctifying grace complete the work, and unite the lost to 
Jesus ; that, being thus freely justified, there may be no more 
curse. — Thus may Thy grace to all abound, And all the world 
in Christ be found ; And thus from evil may we rise, To 
a bright home beyond the skies. And, Lord ! may Thy 
people every where be stirred up to lay hold on Thee at noon- 
day ; and may the number of noon-day meetings for prayer be 
multiplied, until noon-day joys and fervent prayers shall pre- 
vail throughout the world, and the inhabitants of earth unite 
with the society of heaven in one grand and perpetual chorus 
of love and praise. — Lord ! to this end Thy grace bestow, And 
be our Guide while here below ; For Jesus' sake our sins for- 
give, And let Thy truth within us live. May Zion prosper and 
be free, To love, obey, and honor Thee ; And may her holy 
joys arise, As grateful incense to the skies. Oh! may the 
wilderness and the solitary place be glad for them, and the 
desert rejoice and blossom as the rose. May the feeble be 
made strong, the lame man leap as the hart, the tongue of the 
dumb sing for joy, and the eyes of the blind be opened to the 
light of eternal life. May the King Whose right it is to reign, 
be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tem- 
pest, yea, as rivers of water in a dry place, and as the shadow 
of a great rock in a weary land. With joy may we draw water 
out of the wells of salvation, and feed upon the manna of holy 
truth, until, invigorated and nourished, we rise to the full sta- 
ture of manhood in Christ Jesus, have on the whole armor of 
God, and gain a victory over the world, the flesh, and the 
devil. Oh ! that grace may abound unto all men, until, forget- 
ting the things which are behind, and reaching forth to those 
things which are before, we press toward the mark for the 
prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. — Thus, Lord ! 
may vice and sin depart, Oh ! may Thy love fill every heart ; 
May grace in Christ to all be given, Oh ! may we all be 
heirs of heaven. Amen.

1 Samuel *7 : 8. And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease 
not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, that He will save us out of 
the hand of the Philistines. 



Come, pray for Zion, ever pray, 
And seek her welfare day by 

day; 
Entreat the Lord to set her free, 
And grant her peace and liberty. 



Pray that her light may 

abroad, 

Till all the nations honor God 
Till every foe has passed away 
And all the living God obey. 



Glorious and gracious Father ! hallowed be Thy name. As 
ancient Israel said to Samuel, so may the voice of entreaty 
even now be heard. — Oh ! pray for us, ye men of God, That we 
may 'scape His vengeful rod ; That He would save us from 
the foe, And that we may to glory go. And may Thy grace 
abound to all men in answer to the fervent prayers of Thy 
people. Oh ! may the proud and the superstitious be turned 
from their false trusts and humbled in the dust at Thy feet ; 
and may infidelity also lose its power over the human mind 
and heart. Oh ! that the love of gold and the perishable things 
of time may soon give place to the love of God and the imper- 
ishable treasures of heaven. May the reign of Jesus be estab- 
lished in every land, and immortal hopes be enkindled in every 
breast. — Lord ! may Gospel tidings spread, And may Imma- 
nuel be our head ; May all the world from sin be free, And 
soon rejoice to worship Thee. Accept, Lord ! our thanks 
for past mercies and for present comforts. Oh ! that we may 
have peace in Christ, and be freely justified from all things 
from which we can not be justified by deeds of law. And 
being graciously accepted, will the Lord be our Keeper in all 
coming days? This night may we have safety and refreshing 
repose, and when the morning light returns, may we awake 
strengthened and qualified for the duties of life. And thus, 
Lord ! may it be with all for whom it is our duty and priv- 
ilege to offer prayer, whether king or beggar, wise or foolish, 
saint or sinner. Oh ! that effectual grace may prevail, till joy 
shall succeed to sorrow, and holiness to sin. — Till deserts ring 
with holy joy, Till wicked men no more annoy ; Till all the 
earth is full of love, A type of holy joys above. Yea, until

the sentiment of every heart shall he : Whom have I in heaven 
but Thee ; and there is none upon the earth that I desire be- 
sides Thee ; my flesh and my heart faileth, but Goo is the 
strength of my heart and my portion forever ; yea, and still 
farther, until all kings shall fall down before Thee, and all na- 
tions shall obey and serve Thee. Let the people praise Thee, 
God ! Let all the people praise Thee, and say, In God is our 
salvation and our glory ; the rock of our strength and refuge is in 
God, and with our song will we praise Him forever. — Praise 
God on earth with sweetest song, And still in heaven the notes 
prolong ; Praise Him below with holy love, And yet in brighter 
worlds above. Come, let us join in lofty praise, Through ever- 
lasting, happy days ; Praise Him with all the heavenly host, 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And unto God, only 
wise, be glory, as it was, is now, and shall be forever. Amen. 



THURSDAY MORNING. 

1 Chronicles 17 : 23. Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that Thou 
hast spoken concerning Thy servant and concerning his house be 
established forever, and do as Thou hast said. 



Come, let us sing in notes of love, 
And lift our hearts to God above ; 
Come, let us bow before His feet, 
And worship at the mercy-seat. 



Lord ! may all delight in Thee, 
And rise to peace and liberty ; 
Oh ! may Thy glory and Tnv grace 
Awaken joy in all our race. 



Everlasting praise to Thee, glorious Father, for the light 
of Thy holy word on the great subject of prayer and praise. 
Oh ! that we may ever be enabled to worship at Thy feet in 
spirit and in truth. — In holy confidence and love, To lift our 
hearts to Thee above ; Enlightened by Thy holy word, To offer 
praises to the Lord. And oh ! that all who offer prayer may 
be guided and divinely instructed. May Tnv Spirit also help 
our infirmities ; for we know not what we should pray for as 
we ought ; but if He make intercession for us with groanings 
which can not be uttered, then may we pray effectually and 
fervently. — Oh ! may the prayers sent up to Thee, From sel- 
fishness be wholly free ; And may our notes of humble song, 



236

In heavenly strains Thy praise prolong. Blessed be Thy 
name, Lord ! for a dispensation of grace, and for time and 
opportunity to do Thy will, to wait in Thy presence, and to 
worship at Thy feet. Oh! that covenanted mercy in Christ 
may soon be the joy of all men ; and Thy holy will, as re- 
vealed in the Bible, their rule of faith and life. May all who 
have the responsibility of exercising civil authority be sub- 
ject to Thy direction, and made both wise and faithful in the 
discharge of their solemn trusts. Oh ! may our land and 
nation enjoy Thy smiles, and may every officer throughout the 
various departments of government be free from low and sel- 
fish aims. May the Executive, with his counselors, enjoy Thy 
gracious consideration and direction, and be blessed with pru- 
dence, courage, and forbearance. So, Lord ! bless also those 
who rule in Zion. May wisdom, fidelity, and self-denial ever 
characterize their way; and may family authority ever be 
wisely exercised. Oh ! may the time soon come when every 
household shall be dedicated to Thee, and when all the fami- 
lies on earth shall call upon Thy name, and day by day pre- 
sent at the family altar the incense of prayer and praise. Thus 
may parents and children rejoice before Thee in the enjoyment 
of Gospel liberty, and Thy worship and praise become the joy

rise to Gospel liberty ; Oh ! may Tny mercy and Thy grace, 
Awaken joy in all our race. Eternal praise to Thee, Lord ! 
for the mercies of the past night, and for the comforts of this 
morning. And will the Lord guide us this day by His coun- 
sel, shield us by His power, restrain us by His hand of love, 
and cheer us with the light of His countenance ? May we have 
health and food, reconciliation and peace, wisdom, patience, 
love, and obedience, pardoning mercy and sanctifying grace ; 
and may all who are dear to us, and all whom we should re- 
member, share in the blessings we seek. And, Lord ! 
deliver us from the counsels of the ungodly, from the way of 
sinners, and from the influence of scornful men. Give us de- 
light in Thy holy law, and instruction by Thy word of truth. 
Make us, Lord ! as a tree planted by the rivers of water, 
which bringeth forth his fruit in his season. Oh ! satisfy us 
early with Thy mercy, that we may be glad and rejoice all the 
day. May our hands be clean, our hearts pure, our faith strong, 
and our zeal according to knowledge. — Oh ! be Thy will our

2 Chronicles 14 : 11. And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and 
said, Lord, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many, or 
with them that have no power : help us, Lord our God ; for we rest 
on TnEE.

Oh ! kindle there the sacred fire 

Of zeal and holy love ; 
Teach us to watch, to pray aright, 
And in Thy worship take de- 
light, 
Till called to dwell above. 



Thus, in Thy service may we go, 
And overcome each mighty foe, 
While to Thy praise we sing ; 
May shouts of triumph swell the 

song, 
And sweetest notes the strains pro- 
long, 
Of praise to Christ our King. 



gracious Father ! blessed be Tnv name ; in every con- 
flict with the powers of darkness be Thou our succor and 
shield. Thou canst make the feeblest to triumph over the 
mightiest. Oh ! that Zion may be inspired with renewed cour- 
age day by day, and, in her Christian work and warfare, enabled 
to go forward from conquering and to conquer, till the shout of 
victory shall rise from the ends of the earth. — Oh ! may her 
light be shed abroad, And all the nations own Thee God, And 
glory in Thy love ; May every land Thy grace enjoy, And 
every tongue Thy praise employ, With all the saints above. 
Smile, O Lord ! on all engaged at this hour in Thy worship, 
and breathe into their souls a spirit of grace and supplication. 
May every petition be presented in true faith, and every desire 
accord with TnY good pleasure. And will the Lord abundantly 
bless all who come before Thy throne of grace, that, on resum- 
ing the vocations of life, they may have the sweet experience 
of Thy love renewedly shed abroad in their hearts. — Let smil-

Through all our journey here below, And make us pure within. 
Oh ! may love speedily triumph throughout the world, and its 
throne be established in every heart — love to Thee supremely, 
to creatures subordinately, and duly to whatever is right. And 
may the blessed day of prophecy soon come, when "the Lord's 
house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and 
shall be exalted above the hills ; and all nations shall flow unto 
it ;" when " many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let 
us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God 
of Jacob ; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk 
in His paths : for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the 
word of the Lord from Jerusalem ;" yea, when " He shall 
judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people;" 
when " they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their 
spears into pruning-hooks ; " when nation shall not lift up 
sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." 
Oh ! may His reign be established, Who " maketh wars to cease 
to the ends of the earth ; " Who " cutteth the spear asunder, 
and burneth the chariot with fire;" Who saith, "Eejoice 
greatly, daughter of Jerusalem : behold, thy King cometh 
unto thee, traveling in the greatness of His strength." He is 
"a hiding.place from the wind, a covert from the tempest; as 
rivers of water in a dry place ; and as the shadow of a great 
rock in a weary land." Oh ! may He speak peace to the hea- 
then, and His dominion be from sea to sea, and from the river 
to the ends of the earth. — May Gospel grace and holy peace, 
New triumphs gain, and still increase, And spread their light 
abroad; Till notes of universal joy Shall every heart and 
tongue employ, In songs of love to God.

gracious Father ! glory be unto Thee. — Thy blessing 
gained, secure from fear, We rise to light and holy cheer ; Sea- 
sons of bitter grief no more, The days of sadness all are o'er. 
As Thou hast added to our lives another day of mercy and 
grace, so, Lord ! give us now devotional frames of mind, 
that we may worship Thee in the beauties of holiness. — Oh ! 
fill our hearts with grateful praise, For kindly lengthening out 
our days ; In truth and meek simplicity, Teach us, Lokd ! 
to worship Thee. We come in Jesus' worthy name to seek 
the continuance of Thy mercy, to confess our sins with true 
penitence and sorrow of heart, and to beg for pardoning mercy 
and sanctifying grace ; yea, and to renew our prayers on be- 
half of all for whom it is our duty to pray. — Lord ! regard 
us from above, And cheer us with Thy saving love; In Chkist 
accepted may we be, From condemnation wholly free. And will 
the Lord in mercy command His blessing on every member of 
the household of faith, and cause every heart to rejoice by rea- 
son of Thine especial grace and love ? May all be clothed with 
penitence, humility, meekness, and Gospel simplicity. — In 
robes of truth and holiness, Of Jesus' perfect righteousness ; 
By faith in His atoning blood, Oh ! may we all find peace with 
God. And will the Lord awaken the rebellious, and bring the 
guilty and unreconciled to realize their perilous condition ? 
May sinners in Zion tremble, and fearfulness seize upon the 
hypocrite. — Oh ! break the heart of unbelief, May all the 
guilty mourn with grief; Their sins confess and turn to Thee, 
And by Thy grace rind liberty. Oh ! that all nations may be 
visited with Gospel light and effectual grace. May the heathen

Gentile own Thee Lord, Be Thy great name on earth adored ; 
The high, the low, in Thee rejoice, And sing Thy praise with 
cheerful voice. Thus, may all the ends of the world remem- 
ber and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations 
worship before Thee. May the people be judged in righteous- 
ness, and the poor with equity ; may truth nourish, and abun- 
dance of peace, so long as the moon endureth. May Jesus 
have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the 
ends of the earth. May those who dwell in the wilderness 
bow before Him, and His enemies lick the dust. Oh ! let the 
wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice — the vil- 
lages that Kedar doth inhabit ; let the inhabitants of the rocks 
sing ; let them shout from the top of the mountains ; let them 
give glory unto the Lord, and declare His praise in the islands. 
Oh ! may the former things pass away, and the world be re- 
lieved from the dominion of sin, and blessed with the reign of 
Immanuel. — And, gracious Father ! still we pray, As Thou hast 
kept us all this day ; So may we yet enjoy Thy care, And in 
Thy love and mercy share ; When done with earth, then may 
we be, Called up to dwell in heaven with Thee. And joining

Restore our fallen, ruined race. In mercy, O Lord ! bless and 
reconcile all who bear rule over their fellow-men. Graciously 
smile upon our land and nation, and endow our rulers with 
uprightness, discernment, and true patriotism. May our chief 
magistrate, together with his counselors, be endowed with the 
spirit of judgment, prudence, and a sound mind. Oh ! deliver 
them from low and unworthy motives and considerations. May 
every selfish and minor interest be merged in the general good. 
— Oh ! may Thy truth in all be found, And may Thy light spread 
all around ; May all from sin and folly free, Rejoice to love and 
honor Thee. In Zion, O Lord ! may there be tokens of Thine 
especial presence and grace, and may the number of true con- 
verts be daily multiplied. Oh ! may awakening power visit 
those who are sleeping in unbelief, and will God in mercy mag- 
nify His love in the salvation of multitudes now in all the ruins 
of sin. — Oh! that Thy truth may be our joy, May conquering 
grace our sins destroy ; May all Thy holy will obey, And light 
and love cheer up our way. And now, gracious Father, blessing 
and praise, and thanksgiving be unto Thee for the mercies of the 
past night, and the comforts of this morning. By Thy guar- 
dian care we have passed the night safely, and are brought to 
the light of one more day ; and will the Lord be our keeper 
and benefactor this day also, that we may have our daily bread, 
that we may be delivered from evil, from the tempter's power, 
and from whatsoever is an offense in Thy sight. Oh ! that we 
may be truly humbled and penitent before Thee, may all our 
sins be blotted out, and will the Lord direct, restrain, shield 
and counsel us all the day, and bring us to its close in peace. 
Thus, heavenly Father, may all men share in Thy grace, walk

Distressed, cast down, o'erwhelm-

Environed round, shut up in 
fear ; 
We cry to God and find relief, 
And rise to life and holy cheer. 



How rich the grace, the joy how 
free, 
The gloom of night is changed 
to day ; 
The prisoner, now at liberty, 
Goes forth his Maker to obey. 



Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. 
Oh ! bring a guilty world into the dust, and banish pride and 
superstition from the human heart. May all men be Divinely 
instructed and made to know that — The Lord of life and glory 
hears The contrite soul when bathed in tears ; When over- 
whelmed with bitter grief, His hand of grace brings sweet re- 
lief. To this end may Gospel ordinances and consolations be 
extended to all lands, and the gloom and curse of ignorance 
and superstition driven from the world. May kings become 
nursing fathers, and queens nursing mothers in Zion, and from 
the provisions of Thy grace may all who bear rule derive lasting 
benefit. May every proud heart be humbled, every false prin- 
ciple destroyed, and every deceptive influence forever banished. 
Oh ! that the gates of sin and spiritual death may be forever 
closed, and the gates of life and salvation freely opened to all 
men. — May darkness from the earth depart, And holy love 
cheer every heart ; May all the world Thy will obey, And sin 
forever pass away. Blessed be Thy name, heavenly Father, 
for the salutary lessons contained in the history of Jonah. 
May all who read profit thereby and learn the importance of 
obedience to Thy holy will ; and may those who are appointed, 
in Thy wise providence, to important and difficult fields of 
labor, however little there may be to encourage and comfort 
them, still go forward with zeal and courage, faithfully declar- 
ing all the counsel of God ; and oh ! that all who hear the voice 
of warning from the lips of Thy servants may be humbled as 
were the men of ancient Nineveh, until true penitence and 
godly sorrow for sin take possession of every human heart. —

subdued ; for the penitent and contrite, that they may have the 
joys of pardoned sin ; and for all who sit in darkness and in

command Thy blessing on all who are exalted to positions of 
authority and responsibility whether in Church or State. Oh !

the Scriptures daily, and to regard the holy oracles of Thy 
word as they truly are, a rule infallible, and the only rule by 
which we can make the journey of life in safety ; yea, also, as 
the only source of true and lasting consolation. Thus enlight-

who are dear to us, humbly praying that the portion of their

Oh ! may we Thy mercy partake, And ever believe and obey. 
And oh ! that all dear to us may be objects of Thy compassion

of the glory of the Lord, beaming forth from the sacred page. 
May Gospel tidings soon awaken joy throughout the world, 
and the nations that have been so long bound with the chains 
of vice, be brought to the glorious liberties wherewith Thy 
children are free. So may truth spring out of the earth, and 
righteousness look down from heaven. May faith dwell in

INTRODUCTION. 



The society of holy men is ever a blessing, and to call such 
to mind, inquiring into their history and experience, affords 
lasting benefit. 

To associate with such in our approaches to God, gives a 
pleasing variety. 

While therefore the body is being refreshed, let not the 
mind be neglected. Talk over the history and experience of 
holy men, and mark the gracious dealings of God with them. 

Thus with the heirs of grace, 

Pursue the narrow road ; 
The way of mercy trace 

To heaven's secure abode, 
Where all are peaceful, happy, free, 
At home in immortality.

FEAST FOR THE IMMORTAL MIND, 



FURNISHED IN 



BIBLE HARMONIES. 



SCRIPTURE BREVITIES AS A DESSERT. 



REV. T. B. CONDIT, 

STILLWATEK, X. J. 



"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no 
money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money 
and without price. — Isaiah 55 : 1."

INTRODUCTION. 



Feasting is only a blessing when conducted with propriety. 
Food duly prepared and properly received is healthful and 
nourishing ; hut if taken excessively, irregularly, and hastily, 
the tendency is to evil rather than permanent benefit. The 
mind needs nourishment. God has provided for this necessity. 
The wine and milk of holy truth aiford immortal vigor. To 
obtain the benefit, partake and digest carefully, and by sincere 
and earnest prayer seek the Divine blessing. 

Make the word of God your treasure, 
Turn aside as you have leisure, 

Here obtain delight ; 
At this feast find consolation, 
Saving grace and free salvation, 

Morning, noon, and night. 

N. B. — Observe that the answers to these catechisms are 
"not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which 
the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with 
spiritual." And further, the Scripture brevities are so asso- 
ciated with the inspired words, as to be clearly obvious. Let 
them therefore be carefully memorized and fondly cherished 
that so they may be a source of perpetual nourishment and 
comfort to the immortal mind.
